Every few months we revisit this beautiful short film about LONGTIME Vendor Mark Kologi, aka the Photo Man. It’s only a few minutes long, and it touches our hearts every time we watch it. The vendors at MTP Fairfax are as one-of-a-kind as their collections and creations. Thank you Ben Kitnick for putting a focus on a very special person.

To see more of Ben’s work, visit his website or Vimeo page.
Mark Kologi is a permanent vendor at the Melrose Trading Post for almost TWO DECADES!
His space in the market is B68 along the walkway from the Main Market to the Men’s Restroom. He curates large printed photographs from local photographers in addition to the bins of curated found photographs.
